Bugs!!!
Those little black dots that look like dust on this crop from a Zealand Notch photo (taken from Zealand Falls Hut) are black flies.
On the full-size photo I counted 147 of the nasty little rascals (circling just downwind of my head).
That's an all-time photo-capture record -- by far!
It's a wonder we hardly got bitten at all (whew!).
